"Erm... listen, master, there was a mishap in the-" Rou Tian attempted to explain herself. However, she was quickly interrupted by Azmodeus, saying:
"Are you trying to tell me that my insights were wrong...?" He asked with one of his brows raised.
"N-No! It isn't that, master! It's just that... w-we...-"
Pan Nu spoke on behalf of her sister disciple. But, in the end, she couldn't come up with a reasonable thing to say and wound up fumbling toward the end.
"If you have time to make up excuses, then you have time to cultivate, so get back to your studies. And I expect you to be at Level 9 in the Moon God Steps by the 1500-year mark. Is that understood?"
Rou Tian and Pan Nu stared at the smiling expression on their master's face and knew that they stood no chance in hell when it came to getting one over on him...
So, in the end, they gave up on their subtle romantic advances and decided to try again at another time. They muttered, "We understand, master..." before letting go of his arms and proceeding to walk back to their cultivation rooms with dejected looks on their increasingly beautiful faces.
Those girls truly will be the death of me...
Azmodeus's thought seemed to emulate his exhaustion as he dragged his body away from the Dao Discussion venue, teleporting to his trusty Heaven Exploding Cave Abode.
Upon making it back to where the other half of his existence was peacefully cultivating, he phased through his body as they quickly became the same existence once again.
"It truly does feel different when I'm two split existences at the same time..."
He slightly opened his crimson-colored eyes and made an interesting comment before returning back to the everlasting pursuit of cultivation.
Azmodeus aimed to reach the Middle Moonlit Path Realm before making it to the center territories of the two Triple Leafed Squares.
With a time dilation difference of 30:1, his original system recommendation of ascending the Astral Plane within 10 thousand years was subsequently increased to 30 thousand years.
It was with this very ratio that those inside the Crimson Dimension were able to get even further ahead of everyone else.
Yang Hua, Nao Long, and the other girls were able to advance their cultivations to the Late Meteor Shower Realm, making them geniuses in their own right!
On the other hand, Jue Mei, the most talented of the lot, was on the precipice of breaking through to the Moonlit Path Realm, putting her tens of thousands of years ahead of the gang!
Even so, not a single one of them could ever hope to compare to the freak that was the Crimson Devil, as it would be no longer than 4 thousand years before he's able to attempt a breakthrough into the Late Moonlit Path Realm.
And when that point came around, his Battle Power should undoubtedly be in the Star Radiance Realm...
...
With the whisking of the wind and the changing of a woman's clothes, 4000 years vanished in the blink of an eye.
For those inside the Crimson Dimension, it may have been 4000 years of peace and tranquility. However, for those outside Azmodeus's little circle, it had been 100 years of exponentially increasing tyranny...
The Crimson Emperor walked over the corpses of those who got in his way, as no one was spared from his limitless pursuit of Infinity.
Even the members of his own Heaven Exploding Sect would receive no forgiveness if they disobeyed his words. And it was through this truly equal delivery of punishments that he achieved true equality for all those inside his boundless expanse of land.
There eventually came a point in time when the people of the Heaven Exploding Sect assumed that they'd finally get a break from their ruthless leader. But, in the end, it turned out that he had simply retreated into his Cave Abode, preparing to breakthrough...
The denizens and members of the Heaven Exploding Sect didn't dare to imagine what their ruler would be like after his breakthrough, and to be honest, none of them wished to imagine it...
Most were fearful of Azmodeus, and some adored him in a blind, mindless manner.
There were even a few with far more sinister intentions...
